i
HOSTILITIES in northern Mex
ico will be renewed at once,
say . rebel agents here. The
informal armistice existing for the
last five days "was broken Tuesday
night and the rebel army is preparing
to take the field..
Messengers were sent from Bl Paso
Tuesday night to Inform Salazar that
peace negotiations were off, and it was
lioldly declared that the third annual
battle of Juarez would be fought with
in the next three to five days. Adher
ents of Salaxar declare that he will
move at once from Guadalupe to Juarez.
It is said the peace negotiations were
broken off because the rebels bad heard
ihat federal troops were being moved
irom Chihuahua northward during the
armistice; also because the federal gov
ernment would not agree to permit the
railroads to remain interrupted during
tlip negotiations and wanted peace ne
gotiations transferred from the border
to interior Mexico.
It Is reported that Gen. Inez Salazar
has gained much in men. ammunition
ana lumls hy his stay at Guadalupe, on
the
ieias ooraer, ana mat tne force
under Marcelo Carraveo operating
south of Juares, will be called at once
5nto action to reinforce him. The rebel
i-trength is estimated conservatively at
about 1500 in the immediate vicinity of
the border.
Messenger to Salazar.
After a conference Tuesday with the
local Mexican consul, Francisco Ter
razas, representing Salazar, declared
that the armistice would not be re
newed, and that no peace negotiations
ivuuiu oe neio. tie sam tnat the Mex
ican government had refused to agree
to an armistice prohibiting the repair
ing of the railway lines below Juarez.
.Neither could the rebels and federals
agree on a place of conference. Also,
the rebels allege a violation of the pre
liminary armistice in the movement of
federal troops in the zone.
Emulating the United States army, a
motorcycle messenger was -dispatched
late Tuesday with the government's
answer to Salazar. From Guadalupe
the rider was to make a tour of the dis
trict below Juarez, announcing to the
various rebel groups that the armis-
Tice nas ended, and giving Salazar's
orders for action.
Fuente "With Snlniar.
David de la Fuente, Orozco's former
artillery chief who recently jumped
bond at San Antonio, Texas, arrived
Tuesday at Guadalupe. He had entered
Mexico at Columbus, N. at, but with
200 men had skirted Juarez to the
south and arrived on the Texas bor
der. Gen. Salazar and CoL e la Fu
ent will uuuduel U14WillD3eKmpaIgn,
Orozco's location remaining idmittedly
in doubt.
Gen. Antonio Rojas is also with Sala
sar and It is said that Gen. Emllio
Carapa has also rejoined Salazar.
Opposed to Peace.
Dissension is said to have arisen
among the rebel leaders within their
own ranks. Reports from Guadalupe
say that David de la Fuente, who is
now with Salazar at Guadalupe, and
Afarcello Caraveo are opposed to any
peace conferences and are said to have
warned Salazar and Rojas that they
would not accept any terms arrived at
by the two rebel leaders and the gov
rnment Caraveo and de la Fuente
laim tbat Pascual Orozco is the only
real leader of the revolution and without
his consent there can be no peace
agreement. Should any further effort
be made to negotiate for peace by Sal
azar and Rojas, it is said that they
haTe been warned that they will be
considered as traitors to the cause and
will be opposed by the remainder of
the revolutionary army.
Americans Released.
E. Todd McClammy and Augustin Lo
pez were released by Tnez Salazar
"Wednesday afternoon and came to the
American side, after being held captives
for 10 days by the rebels. Before re
leasing them. Salazar seized their out
fit of six horses and 3 saddles, telling
them he was sorry, but he needed them
No ransom was demanded of them aridN
they lived on the best the rebels had,
thougj they were two days without
water.
McClammy, telling of their trip, said
over the telephone to a Herald reporter
"Wednesday: "Lopez and I had passes
from the American consul in Juarez,
countersigned by the jefe de annas.
"We were on our way to my ranch, 70
miles northwest of Casas Grandes.
when Maj. Beatancourt and a bunch of
rebels took us in custody at Malpais,
between El Paso and the New Mexico
line. They thought we were federal
spies, but when we convinced them that
we were not, they released us, after
having held us two days.
"We then continued on our "way to
ward my ranch, when we met a bunch
of 300 rebels commanded by CoL Castro.
David de la Fuente and CoL Jose Ma
rias were with that bunch. They ar
rested us between Buena Vista and
Alamos Altos. They marched us back
to Palomas and took that town. There
were 60 dead horses and 200 dead goats
when we got In the town.
Rebels All Around Juarez.
"Then they marched us around a cir
cle of 300 miles, distributing their men
at various places, and finally took us
into Guadalupe, where we arrived in
tharge of 10 officers Sunday night.
"The reason for their going to Pa
lomas was that they had heard Pancho
Villa was to cross there with 100 men
disguised as laborers, but we did not
tee them.
"On our way to Guadalupe we passed
se-v era! places where they had arms and
saddles cached. In -one place we saw a
bunch of SO Mausers and several sad
ales. In another we saw 30 saddles and
a number of Mausers.
"They claim tor have 1000 men at
Guadalupe and it looks as ft they had.
They have bands scattered all around
south of Juarez, from Palomas to
Guadalupe. No word 'was said about an
attack on Juarez, but Salazar was put
ling on his cartridge belt and all were
ready to ride when they let us go to
day.'' THIEVING FROM.
MORMON COLONISTS
Many of the Colonists Are Returning
to Their Home, Although They Do
Not Believe It Safe.
Wednesday morning J. C. Bentley,
James Skousen and Alonzo Taylor came ,
in from Colonia Juarez. They report
that everything is quiet as usual in
the colonies, but petty thieving is go-
jng on nightly.
A week ago they had some splendid
rains that wet the country good, and
the fall wheat is coming up and look-
ing better than it has done for years
at this time of year. A good stream
f water Is flowing down the river. The
colonists in Dublan intend to refill the
-serwirs to take the place of the
v j. r list by evai orating Tnri ,i:nw
c-r n& uit win it r.
A number of families will return to J
the colonies the latter part of this
week, not because they think it is safe,
but because it is hard to provide for
their families and pay rent here and
their property there is being destroyed.
They came overland from Juares to
Columbus without meeting any rebels.
Conditions in the mountains are re
ported as being very bad since Salazar
and his men went through there.
Charles 'Whipple, whose baby died
a few days ago, has returned from Ari
zona. Brigham Whipple, whq went to the
San Pedro mines to take two mining
men has returned. They met the rebels
and were held up, but a few dollars

Postmaster General Hitch

Senate Committee.
COMFORTS ARE URGED
IN SOLDIERS' HOMES
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 29.
Investigation of alleged ac
tivity of the postofflce de
partment in connection with president
Taft's campaign is forecast as one of
the first developments before the
senate campaign fund investigating
committee.
The resolution passed the senate
without opposition. It is understood
that senator Clapp. chairman of the
inyostgating committee, contemplates
calling postmaster general Hitchcock
and others connected with the Repub
lican campaign as the first witnesses.
Representatives of the other political
parties will also be called on.
Urge Comfort for Veterans.
"The comfort and happiness of our
former soldiers should not be sacrificed
and their years shortened In order that
a few dollars may be saved to the
nation's treasury- While economy is
commendable, it should not be obtained
at such a sacrifice."
This declaration was contained In a
report made to the senate by the spe
cial committee which Investigated con
ditions at the Pacific branch of the
national home for volunteer soldiers
at Santa Monica, Calif. The report
says the soldiers were poorly fed and
housing conditions, could b tn-ontiv
Improved.
Senator Jones presented with the re
port a bill to transfer control of the
home to the war department. The In
vestigating committee found no evi
dences of graft or misappropriation of
funds. It found that the soldiers were
being fed, however, for 16 to 20 cents
a day while in the national home at
Washington the average Is 35 cents a
day. The Pacific coast home has be
come so popular with old soldiers seek
ing a mlia climate that the committee
recommended a law allowing admission
to the home of soldiers drawing pen
sions ui ju a montn.
Closed Season For Seals.
In a'report on fur seal conditions at
the Pribiloff Islands the house com
mittee which conducted a wide investi
gation endorsed a closed season of five
years. President Taft recently asked
to have a law to that effect repealed.
The committee reported that the
North American Commercial company'
aaa vioiateu tne law by .Killing female
seals and yearlings and recommended
that the attorney general proceed
against the company.
"Will Reduce Tariff on Shoes.
Chairman Underwood of the house
ways and means committee, stated to
day that the present tariff on boots
and shoes would not be retained nt it
( was "absolutely prohibitive" and said
ui tuniniiuee wouia welcome sugges
tions as to where the tax conld be put
between 10 percent and nothing.
Deicocrats Are Divided.
Division that elxsts within Demo
cratic ranks over granting independ
ence to the Philippines was emphasized
In the house when American adminis
tration in the islands was made the
subject of a severe attack by repre
sentative W. A. ,Jones, of Virginia,
chairman of the house committee on
insular affairs. .
Representative Jones's suggestions
for Philippine independence which have
been considered favorably by president
elect Wilson, were opposed by repre
sentative Sherley, Democrat, of Ken
tucky, while criticisms of president
Taft and governor-general Cameron
Forbes brought a sharp reply from
representative Murray, Democrat, fnm
-iljssachusetts.
The speech of Mr. Jones was both a
demand for independence and a severe
arraienment nf Amwtran nr!YYiiTiistr?i-
j tion in the Islands.
Representative Murray charged him
with having "slandered Cameron For
bes," and "defamed president Taft."
Mr. Jones denied these charges but
insisted the administration of the Is
lands. had violated at least the spirit
of the laws governing the Philippines.
Mann Defends Canal BUI.
Representative Mann, the minority
leader, defended the Panama tolls bill,
declaring that practically all opposition
to the policy of the United States re
garding tolls "originated with the
trans-continental railways, whose rates
are likely to be affected by the reduc
tion of the cost of carriage by water."
Representative Pujo, chairman of the)
house "money trust" committee, an-,
nounced that he and Samuel Unter
myer, counsel for the committee, will
probably go to Jekyl Island about Feb
ruary 6 to take the testimony of Wil
liam Rockefeller.
Favors Paper Legal Tender.
The issue of paper legal tender,
based on government; state and munici
pal bonds and backed by a gold reserve
of at least 20 percent, was recommend
ed as a solution of the currency prob
lem, by W. H. Berry, former state
treasurer of Pennsylvania.

TO THE DARDANELLES
ONDOX, Enjr., Jan. 29. The ndte J
L drafted by the peace delegates of
the allies, breaking off negotia
tions for peace, was delivered by Stovan
Novakovitch, head of the Servian dele
gation, to Rechad Pasha today.
The factor impelling this action was
the receipt-of reports of grave ferment
among the Turks along the Tchatalja
lines, many of whom are said to be un
willing to follow the lead of the Young
Turk.
The gravity of the situation at Con
stantinople is shown by the large naval
forces concentrated by the European
powers at the entrance to the Dar
danelles. Even Austria-Hungary,
which had refused to join the powers in
naval movements, has ordered two war
ships to the east.
While the clouds are gathering over
Constantinople the astronomers who
make a study of the European firma

Woman Suffrage.
Some action is also expected during

the resolution introduced by senator
McGregor providing for injecting woman-suffrage
into the constitution. Some
of the senators declare they will vote
for the resolution that it may be sub- I

A bill is to be introduced in the

from fraternity men. This bill promises
to be one of the most interesting that
will be considered during the session.
The fraternity men will oppose its
passage, but as the ' majority of the
lawmakers are not members of these
Greek letter societies, the passage of
the bill Is not unlikely. One of the sen
ators, who is also opposed to frater
nities at the university, is said to be
preparing a bill on the subject which,
he will introduce within a short time.
The Alumni association of Texas may
also take a hand in the contest Just
what will be the attitude of the uni

not been disclosed and probably will
not be unless some of the faculty is
called to appear before the committee
to consider the measure. Mr. Harris
Introduced his measure yesterday.
Reciprocal Insurance.
Advocates of inter or reciprocal in
surance in the state are highly jubilant
over the result of the action of the
senate and house committee in report
ing favorably on the Murray bill and
against the Watson measure. The
Murray bill is to their liking in that
it merely places these mutual or
reciprocal concerns under the juris
diction of the commissioner of insur
ance and banking. On the other hand
the Watson bill placed so many re
strictions and requirements on these
reciprocals that it is maintained, it
would result in driving all but one or
two out of business. An effort may
be made during the present week to
pass this bill.
Senate Rejects Adams.
The senate rejected the claims of
J. T. Adams for the seat of V. A Col
lins, a holdover senator. Adams at once
asked for mandamus in the supreme
court against the lieutenant governor,
secretary of state, and senator Col
lins to force a test of his- case.
Social Welfare Conference.
The social welfare conference of
the Texas State Conference of Charities
today endorsed the Burges bill pro
viding for a state board of charities.
Compulsory education and a more
stringent child labor law were also
favored.
